Fixed TD height property in HTML

Question

I can't make td "Date" to have fixed height. If there is less in Body section td Date element is bigger than it should be - even if I set Date height to 10% and Body height to 90%. Any suggestions? Claude

When you use percentages, they're relative to their container and even then, that only works on some types of element. I imagine for this to work, you need to apply the height to the s, and give the a height. If the height is relative too, you need to give its container a height too. But looking at your data, are you really sure you should be using a table at all?!
